Limited Warranty and Limitation Liability
BW Technologies LP (BW) warrants the product to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of
two years, beginning on the date of shipment to the buyer. This warranty extends only to the sale of new and unused products to the original buyer.
BW’s warranty obligation is limited, at BW’s option, to refund of the purchase price, repair or replacement of a defective product that is returned to
a BW authorized service center within the warranty period. In no event shall BW’s liability hereunder exceed the purchase price actually paid by the
buyer for the Product.
This warranty does not include:
a) fuses, disposable batteries or the routine replacement of parts due to the normal wear and tear of the product arising from use;
b) any product which in BW’s opinion, has been misused, altered, neglected or damaged, by accident or abnormal conditions of operation,
handling or use;
c) any damage or defects attributable to repair of the product by any person other than an authorized dealer, or the installation of unapproved
parts on the product; or
The obligations set forth in this warranty are conditional on:
a) proper storage, installation, calibration, use, maintenance and compliance with the product manual instructions and any other applicable
recommendations of BW;
b) the buyer promptly notifying BW of any defect and, if required, promptly making the product available for correction. No goods shall be
returned to BW until receipt by the buyer of shipping instructions from BW; and
c) the right of BW to require that the buyer provide proof of purchase such as the original invoice, bill of sale or packing slip to establish that the
product is within the warranty period.
THE BUYER AGREES THAT THIS WARRANTY IS THE BUYER’SSOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR APARTICULAR PURPOSE. BW SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY
SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR RELIANCE OR ANY OTHER THEORY.
Since some countries or states do not allow limitation of the term of an implied warranty, or exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential
damages, the limitations and exclusions of this warranty may not apply to every buyer. If any provision of this warranty is held invalid or
unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such holding will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.

GasAlertMicro 5/PID/IR
Introduction
The quick reference guide provides basic information to operate
the GasAlertMicro 5, GasAlertMicro 5 PID, and GasAlertMicro
5 IR gas detectors. For complete operating instructions, refer
to the GasAlertMicro 5/PID/IR User Manual provided on the
CD-ROM.
The GasAlertMicro 5, GasAlertMicro 5 PID, and GasAlertMicro
5 IR detectors (“the detector”) are designed to warn of hazard-
ous gas levels above user-defined alarm setpoints.
Note
Unless reference is made to a specific detector
model, the GasAlertMicro 5, GasAlertMicro 5 PID,
and GasAlertMicro 5 IR detectors are referred to as
GasAlertMicro 5/PID/IR.
Note
The detector is shipped with English as the default
displayed language. Additional languages provided
are French, German, Spanish, and Portuguese. The
screens for the additional languages are displayed on
the detector and in the corresponding quick reference
guide.
Safety Information - Read First
Use the detector only as specified in this quick reference guide
and the user manual, otherwise the protection provided by the
detector may be impaired.
The detector is a personal safety device. It is your responsibility
to respond properly to the alarm.
Read the following Cautions before using the detector.

aCautions
•Warning: Substitution of components may impair Intrinsic
Safety.
• Caution: For safety reasons, this equipment must be
operated and serviced by qualified personnel only. Read and
understand the user manual completely before operating or
servicing.
• Charge the detector before first-time use. BW recommends
the detector be charged after every workday.
• Charge the battery pack immediately when a low battery
alarm occurs.
• Read and adhere to the battery cautions provided in
Replacing Battery Cells and Packs on page 17.
• BW recommends that the combustible sensor be checked
with a known concentration of calibration gas after any
exposure to contaminants/poisons such as sulfur
compounds, silicon vapors, halogenated compounds, etc.
• BW recommends to bump test the sensors before each
day’s use to confirm their ability to respond to gas by
exposing the detector to a gas concentration that exceeds
the alarm setpoints. Manually verify that the audible and
visual alarms are activated. Calibrate if the readings are not
within the specified limits.
• Calibrate the detector before first-time use and then on a
regular schedule, depending on use and sensor exposure to
poisons and contaminants. The sensors must be calibrated
regularly and at least once every 180 days (6 months).
• Calibrate only in a safe area that is free of hazardous gas in
an atmosphere of 20.9% oxygen.
• Only the combustible gas detection portion of this
instrument has been assessed for performance by CSA
International.
• The combustible sensor is factory calibrated to 50% LEL
methane. If monitoring a different combustible gas in the
% LEL range, calibrate the sensor using the appropriate
gas.
• Caution: High off-scale LEL readings may indicate an
explosive concentration.
• Protect the combustible sensor from exposure to lead
compounds, silicones, and chlorinated hydrocarbons.
Although certain organic vapors (such as leaded gasoline
and halogenated hydrocarbons) may temporarily inhibit
sensor performance, in most cases, the sensor will recover
after calibration.
• For use only in potentially explosive atmospheres where
oxygen concentrations do not exceed 20.9% (v/v).
• Any rapid up scaling reading followed by a declining or
erratic reading may indicate a gas concentration beyond
upper scale limit, which can be hazardous.
• Extended exposure of the GasAlertMicro 5, GasAlertMicro 5
PID, or GasAlertMicro 5 IR to certain concentrations of
combustible gases and air may stress the detector element
that can seriously affect its performance. If an alarm occurs
due to a high concentration of combustible gases,
recalibration should be performed, or if needed, the sensor
replaced.
• The BW pump module (M5-PUMP) is certified for use with
the GasAlertMicro 5, GasAlertMicro 5 PID, and
GasAlertMicro 5 IR models only.

GasAlertMicro 5/PID/IR
Safety Information - Read First
• Protect the PID sensor from exposure to silicone vapors.
• When calibrating O3and ClO2sensors that are located in
the Toxic 2 position of the detector, a single gas calibration
cap must be used to ensure accurate calibration.
• Replace the CO2sensor only in a safe area that is free of
hazardous gas in an atmosphere of 20.9% oxygen.
•Warning: The battery pack (M5-BAT08) is equipped with a
lithium battery that may present a risk of fire or chemical
burn hazard if misused. Do not disassemble, heat above
212ºF (100ºC), or incinerate.
•Warning: Do not use any other lithium batteries that are not
designed for use with the GasAlertMicro 5, GasAlertMicro5
PID, or GasAlertMicro5 IR detectors. Use of any other cell
can cause fire and/or explosion. To order and replace the
M5-BAT07 or the M5IR-BAT08 lithium battery pack, contact
BW Technologies by Honeywell.
•Warning: Lithium polymer cells exposed to heat at 266°F
(130°C) for 10 minutes can cause fire and/or explosion.
• Dispose of used lithium cells immediately. Do not
disassemble and do not dispose of in fire. Do not mix with
the solid waste stream. Spent batteries must be disposed
of by a qualified recycler or hazardous materials handler.
• Keep lithium cells away from children.
• Before using common products around sensors, refer to
Sensor Poisons and Contaminants on page 4.
The detector contains either alkaline batteries or a lithium
polymer battery. Refer to the following warnings.
ce Warning
This instrument contains alkaline batteries. Do not mix
with the solid waste stream. Spent batteries must be
disposed of by a qualified recycler or hazardous materials
handler.
ce Warning
This instrument contains a lithium polymer battery.
Dispose of lithium cells immediately. Do not disassemble
and do not dispose of in fire. Do not mix with the solid
waste stream. Spent batteries should be disposed of by a
qualified recycler or hazardous materials handler.
